Here here. Danny Boy is definitely one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It’s been sung by many people but no one can EVER live up to the most beautiful, pure, expressive and heart-wrenching sound of the beautiful Judith Durham. I cry every time I hear her sing it, just can’t hold back the tears, how ever hard I try. Has anyone heard her singing “All Over The World “? Pure beauty and fantastic song.
She thought about being an opera singer. She thought about being a concert pianist. She became the artist of millions of fans. Listen to her sing every day! If you are in the right mood she could make you cry with her voice. What a talent!
Funny you should say that because I have often said that she is one of two singers whose voice alone can bring tears to my eyes, the other being Patsy Cline.
She makes me cry everytime i hear her since i first listen to her and now after she died even more. She and the guys are like the friends of every of us their funs.
I met her in a little place in Bradenton Fla and froze! I could not speak as I was starstruck,. I graciously walked out. She was my favorite person of all!
I cannot believe how 252 people have given this the thumbs down? This is such a beautiful song. Known, loved and sung worldwide. Judith's voice has just the right quality for it and she sings it so beautifully with love and passion. Shame on you, whoever you are.

“Judith Durham’s voice is renowned for its exceptional purity, clarity, and warmth. Her unique tone has been praised by critics and fans alike, with many considering her one of the greatest female vocalists in history.”
As any professional singer will tell you this song is difficult to sing because of its wide range but Judith Durham with her remarkable talent makes it look effortless
My father in law used to like to sing this when drunk. He was at Dunkirk and Nimegen and was a paratrooper beyond the beyond. He gave my son his medals. In memory of Stan Macnamara. Please remember him.
This is the song i sung to my my son when he was a baby, he passed away aged 22 in 2009 from a brain hemorrhage while at Trinity College Dublin, the pain never goes away. Judith sings this as best it could ever be sung. I love her singing its so unique.
I can't begin to believe what you are going through, not bloody fair, 22? my daddy was 82 annd christ that waas hard enough, thoughts andprayers with you, may your boy rest in peace, god go with you xxxx
I don't know what to say, to lose your son at such a young age, is heart breaking. I spent many months in Hospital as a child, and my Dad sang this to me. Judith sings it so beautifully. I shed a tear every time I play it. I'm sorry for your loss Michael
I feel I must push in here as an Irishman and say that This singer sings this from the heart. She tops every other version I have heard. She is a treasure and a credit to her country, Australia.
Have a wee listen to Maureen Hegarty from Derry singing her version , I am sure you will be impressed also . Judith was one of the greatest voices of her day .
This song was my late dad's favourite song l cry when ever l hear it lost my dad 2002 to cancer and l was shattered then lost mum 2009 to cancer too and mum loved Judith singing this version of Danny boy 😂😂😂❤❤❤life is soooo precious 💞
No false vibrato no vocal acrobatics just pure honest interpretation of a beautiful song Judith Durham was and is the best female singer that ever was I miss her voice.
I have never been able to describe the style of so many Pop singers of today, but vocal acrobatics is an accurate description of their style of delivery. I really love to hear a singer like Judith and her pretty voice sing as the song should be sung.
Elton John, who knows a little something about music and singing, once said that Judith was one of the three best female singers ever (the other two being Eva Cassidy and Karen Carpenter) - absolutely nothing to argue with there...
I am 66 years old, and never in my life have I ever heard such a beautiful version of 'Danny Boy'. It gives me goosebumps, a lump in my throat, and tears in my eyes. Thank you Judith! And thank God for giving you to the world!
I turned 66 last month --- while searching through music by the seekers last night I came across a singer I had for some reason never heard before. This is her singing "Danny Boy" th-cam.com/video/j32Fnb_8Bv4/w-d-xo.html
A voice as clear as crystal. Judith really let’s out her glorious soprano voice. Absolutely the best Danny Boy I’ve ever heard. Here in October 2020, who else?
The people who have given this the thumbs down, all I can say is I feel sad for you, because you must be tone deaf, a woman’s voice like this comes along once in a life time, .and will be remembered long after when most if not all of your pop hero’s have been long forgotten.
Fifty years more and people will miss our time, and not exactly because the future will be worse. People simply tend to believe the old times were better.
One of the lovliest ballads, sung by one of the world's lovliest vocalists. Judith, you brought such joy to us all ... your beauty, your voice, your songs will live on through the ages.
Judith's voice has a rare purity and beauty. I cannot quite describe it. There's something enchanting about the color, brightness and fullness of her voice.
Yes, it is unique. She had measles as a child of 4 (in 1948) and was very sick. She had bronchiectasis as a result...a lifelong condition like people with cystic fibrosis have, but without the progressive damage of that disease. It left her with a chronic cough, which she has trained herself to control while singing. It also left her with lungs and breathing passages that gave wonderful power and unique timbre and vibrato. What could have been a tragedy turned into a gift for her and the world!
Ian John Kiernan a credit to Australia.. One of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard .. and a good soul throughout.. the kind of woman you wanted to marry one day ..
You got that right. She should have been musically heritage listed long ago. No recorded female I have heard, has anywhere near that voice. I remember seeing her sing that at a concert. A few teary eyes around near me...but on stage we didn't have the strings, but we had the lads of the Seekers humming in harmony...it was a real treat.
@@brianmorris8045Dear Judith, fell hopelessly in love with you at the age of twelve, still hopeless in love with you ,what can I do ! will you marry me I'm 64
My dear father loved this song and he used to play it on his piano, it's so special to me because I know that he was thinking of me while playing it, God bless him.
Being Irish I have been brought up with Danny boy sung at every gathering n even when it was just in our home .I have never heard a version sung like this it is gloriously superb!!!
I have loved Judith since the sixties beautiful woman,the voice of an Angel but I still wonder who has the finest voice Judith or Annie Haslam of Rennaissance
Totally agree! With today's singers, so many of them literally scream the high notes and while they hit the note, it just sounds like yelling. But kids today love that! We need more singers like Durham to show the young ones what REAL singing is about.
You’ve said it exactly right. I think that’s the difference between Judith and other great female singers. She doesn’t seem to have to put any effort into it, or at least that’s the way it comes across.
Peace be with you Judith: I'm 73 Irish/Dutch Canadian. The 1st song I ever heard and learned to sing and play on keys and strings was Danny Boy for my Scottish Grandmother. Other then performing King Crimson with my Les Paul Mansfield such as Epithet - the Sneekers and the Rankin Family made the music I loved. Judith's rendition of Danny Boy was always my favorite - God Bless Her - Ron
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
My spouse passed very recently but before she did I had her sit by me and listen to this rendition by Judith. She had never heard of her before. She was not much of a tearful person but this song made her cry like a baby... even with her advanced dementia this got to her.
Not much makes me cry but your passing has me with tears rolling down my cheeks, i am 73 and have listened to your stunning voice all my life and your passing has broke my heart. RIP Judith, now go join the Angels from whence you came.
RIP dear lady, NOWBODY can sing "Danny Boy" with such genuineness and tenderness as YOU. It's a very sad song about heart break and hope. Sung a lot at funerals, I know of no other song that is more requested at this difficult time because it uplifts the spirit. From an Irish man who has heard this song quite a few times.👍💚
Robin Mayhew We do have them..Many of them but the powers that be wont let them become in public view They pump out all low morals music.Lady GA Ga and Katy Perry distroyed americas your girls with their half dressed crazy music..We really need people like this to be allowed a platform

How sad that Judith Durham has just died. As was mentioned by the PM of Australia, “she was one of their national treasures”. I hope others will agree. 6/8/22

Vale Judith Durham. No one will ever replace you, You were a very special person who dealt with tragedy and heartbreak but never stopped smiling, an incredible vocalist, pianist, and performer who was an ambassador for Australia. I believe she is now performing in a better place reunited with her husband, thank you Judith Durham for the music and the memories you have given to so many millions of people all over the world.
Judith your singing fed my soul, the purity of your version of Danny Boy to all the wonderful Seekers songs with the boys. I was at the Music Bowl in 1967 with my dear Mum, I saw the 25th reunion, the 50th Concert, I went to the 1994 Grand Final to see the Seekers, I saw you sing jazz and singing with the Choir of Hard Knocks. I am saddened that your carnival is over. Thank you for the joy your singing gave to me and many, many others. Heaven’s choir now has its lead singer and you have now found the Olive Tree.
The Seekers: Often unjustly overlooked for their musical contributions in the `60's. But Judith Durham possessed a voice as clear as a mountain stream. Danny Boy may be denigrated by Irish purists, but her rendition is as sweet and precious today as it was so many years ago. Thank you so much for posting.
I am an Irish man and I was unaware that we denigrate Danny Boy. To your point I agree Judith's rendition, voice, and delivery of the song are absolutely fantastic and beautiful.
@norman smithers sorry to hear about that! I would like to get to know you better if you don’t mind? Where are you originally from? And where do you currently live?
We played this at my mum's funeral, she used to sing it to us when we were young, Judith singing of it is beautiful, I am sure she is entertaining people in heaven
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
Judith Durham broke my 10 year old heart when she left the Seekers in about 1967. I love her dearly still though, and her intro to the song set up the very best version I’ve ever heard. Like Judith herself, just BEAUTIFUL!!
I have never in my life heard this song "Danny Boy" sung so exquisitely & I don't believe anybody else ever will in the future. She sings with such beauty & feeling as to make a grown man cry. If there is a god he surely touched Judith.
housecarl6 The lyrics were written by an Englishman, Fred Weatherly. The tune is far older. Nobody is sure, but the story goes it was composed by Rory Dal O'Cathan, last of bards to the O'Neill clan, as a lament for the passing of the old Gaelic order after the Battle of Kinsale in 1601.
My beautiful three sons, Casey, Samuel, and Peter, you are all three grown men now gone away to grow your own lives and family...but I will always be here for you...and if you come and find I am gone...just listen... And remember the hundreds of times I sang this for you as you went off to bed as boys...this is our song always and forever...."and I shall sleep in Peace untill you come to me." ...
My heart is truly broken and I have cried to hear that Judith has passed us by. All the wondrous qualities of her voice can be heard here. They called her a songbird, but she was so much more than that. Who do you know who can sing like her. I am blessed to have known her, met her and heard her sing.
What a voice I mean what a voice Judith had.Then add Danny boy and you have a match made in heaven.Rest in peace Judith you leave behind an amazing legacy.

I don't care what any one says, Danny Boy is one of the most beautiful songs in the English language. Sung exquisitely by Judith Durham.
Bravo
Here here. Danny Boy is definitely one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It’s been sung by many people but no one can EVER live up to the most beautiful, pure, expressive and heart-wrenching sound of the beautiful Judith Durham.

An amazing Song from an amazing Singer♥️
One of my favourite renditions of this song
Only a class singer can sing Danny Boy, which Judith does, divinely.
She thought about being an opera singer. She thought about being a concert pianist. She became the artist of millions of fans. Listen to her sing every day! If you are in the right mood she could make you cry with her voice. What a talent!

“Judith Durham’s voice is renowned for its exceptional purity, clarity, and warmth. Her unique tone has been praised by critics and fans alike, with many considering her one of the greatest female vocalists in history.”
Agreed.
Rest in piece, Judith. 🙏 I have never listened to 'Danny Boy' sung so beautifully and with such sorrow. Her singing voice is that wonderful.
An incredibly beautiful song, sung by an Angel. Rest in Peace, Judith. God bless you, and all who read this. 🙏💖🙏❣️
Thankyou for thinking of us, your fellow mourners Tami
the best version ever
I didn’t know until recently that Judith had passed away. What a great voice.
A beautiful song given extra passion by one of the great singers of my lifetime , now sadly having left us
I'm 66 years old. When I was a little boy, I had such a crush on her. Truely an angel.
No one, and I mean NO ONE sings this song better.
As any professional singer will tell you this song is difficult to sing because of its wide range but Judith Durham with her remarkable talent makes it look effortless
RIP Judith your voice is returning to heaven where it was made.
Well said!
What a lovely comment and so true
What an angel.
May she rest in peace
Thank you for your time with us🙏🙏🥰🥰
As an Irish man one of the best. I've heard sing this song
Have you heard the Roy Orbison version ??? With the orchestral backing ???? Heart wrenching .
My father in law used to like to sing this when drunk. He was at Dunkirk and Nimegen and was a paratrooper beyond the beyond. He gave my son his medals. In memory of Stan Macnamara. Please remember him.
To Stan Macnamara
fair play to you judith lovely the best of all.

I feel I must say excellent job also elvis that this song justice. 🍀🇨🇮💚
Brings tears on🍀💚🇨🇮
I can't agree more. Rare to hear it from a female singer. My next favorite would be Andy Williams. "I'm off to Dublin in the green, laddy."
Have a wee listen to Maureen Hegarty from Derry singing her version , I am sure you will be impressed also . Judith was one of the greatest voices of her day .
Try Deanna Durban's version from the film "Because of Him" opposite Charles Laughton in the 1940's. That one is my favorite.
Judith is one of those angels I expect to hear sing when I get to heaven, if I get there.
i like that "if i get there" lol :0)
RIP Judith Durham.
Just heard on the radio she's passed away, aged 79. 😢
Judith Durham had one of the greatest female voices of all time. Thanks for singing Danny Boy sweetheart. Rest in peace.
Still listening in 2020--She is a treasure!
August 2020😭🙏for a better year from USA
@red rowan2000...AMEN!...I wish I had a time machine to go back to such sweet voices 😌
Yes, a treasure!
Best version of Danny Boy i have ever heard.
Me too. Wonderful.
I don't think she realise just how great she was and the effect she had on people
how great she was? she is still with us..
THATS BECAUSE SHE IS NOT LOOKING 4 IT
Has. :-)
1/31/2024: She was Lovely and the most Beautiful Voice. She sent me an autographed picture of her 3 years ago.
RIP Wonderful Girl.

Fred, Judith is still performing and recording, so no need to miss her
@@GlenStace No autotune
She has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard.

JD was better 👍
So sad to learn of her passing. She will be a beautiful addition to the Angel Chorale. Thank you for your beautiful voice and wonderful memories.
You say it so well....thanks!
When I get to Heaven one of the things I will do is attend a concert with Judith Durham, Karen Carpenter and Whitney Houston.
@@williampaz2092 And Olivia
Beautifully put. She was a true artist performing during a time when music touched heart and soul
Of course they will all have to up their game.

A wonderful rendition of Danny boy. R.I.P Judith.
This song is so beautiful when sung by a woman. She has the voice of an Angel.
She is a good singer but listen to Danny O'Donnell, what do you think?
Judith Durham's rendition of Danny Boy, is truly beautiful. The voice of an Angel ❤
She had an angelic voice, and she transported all of us into the story she was singing. Rest In Peace Angel!
How can anyone give this a thumbs down
She gave us so much joy over 60 years. An angel on earth now an angel in heaven. Very sad to say goodbye.
A voice as clear as crystal. Judith really let’s out her glorious soprano voice. Absolutely the best Danny Boy I’ve ever heard. Here in October 2020, who else?
It’s all been said ! Beautiful crystal clear voice ! Along with Beautiful person !
I listen to this every now and then. Lovely Judith Durham. So special....what a beautiful voice. Lovely song.
Wonderful version. Love it. Who else you ask? Deanna Durbin that's who. Peace.
2022
yes this angel voice is still around us today my friend kansas
And good morning too and Merry Christmas too
Most singers merely sing the notes and words, Judith sang the feeling behind the song. Beautiful. R I P Judith.
RIP Danny boy also
Very well said 😊
Heaven is an even better place now that Judith is there. And the angels sing.
I am now 73 years old. I have never heard a more moving version of Danny Boy. Thank you Judith! You have been a gift.
This is easily the definitive version of this song, Absolutely lovely, and it speaks to me. I lost my son when he was 18 - in Northern I
reland.
A beautiful angel who didn't need a mic touching her lips and hiding her face. An Australian treasure too!
Judith's beautiful, powerful haunting voice is a gift from God. You will never hear a more beautuiful version of this classic.
I would rate Jackie Evahcho and Judith even on this song, both are brilliant!
Beautiful voice , stunning. Today's singers couldn't compete with her . No way .
Raw talent. No rubbish like auto tune or studio editing. Simply sheer raw talent. Well done Judith Durham. You did Australia proud 👍👍👍👍
Best version of this song
Praise technology because we can still see and hear this beautiful woman. Thank you Judith for enriching my life.
It's hard to believe a person can put out such a beautiful piece of artwork. RIP
This is the first time that i have heard an angel sing
I've heard 'em all, male and female, old and new, and this is the best version... to me, anyway.
I was born at the wrong time!
Not only a greater generation of vocals, but the depth in the voice conveyed believability of living the life!
The people who have given this the thumbs down, all I can say is I feel sad for you, because you must be tone deaf, a woman’s voice like this comes along once in a life time, .and will be remembered long after when most if not all of your pop hero’s have been long forgotten.
R.I.P. Judith Durham. Your talents will be deeply missed ❤️🇦🇺
this is one of the great voices in musical history---pure brilliance--pure purity.
Rest in peace , Judith .
The beautiful rendition of " Danny Boy".
Is there a song she can't sing beautifully? Thank God a voice like this found it's way to the masses.
GOD BLESS YOU
Nope
Fifty years more and people will miss our time, and not exactly because the future will be worse. People simply tend to believe the old times were better.
What a life to have lived bringing joy to countless millions
Only a crazy or evil person could thumbs down this. A very special lady with a wonderful unforgettable voice and beauty.
One of the lovliest ballads, sung by one of the world's lovliest vocalists. Judith, you brought such joy to us all ... your beauty, your voice, your songs will live on through the ages.

I have loved Judith since the sixties beautiful woman,the voice of an Angel but I still wonder who has the finest voice Judith or Annie Haslam of Rennaissance
you mean European
You should be.
Some1 lease me a time machine so I can go back to 1968. I will bring it back, honest. Always love Judith !
Sharon North: My Dad was a Derry Boy, 13 years later I still break down at Danny Boy, love you Daddy xx
I just love how - just after 1:40, and finally at 4:00 - she hits those top notes _without_ belting, but also with no sign of effort whatsoever.
Totally agree! With today's singers, so many of them literally scream the high notes and while they hit the note, it just sounds like yelling. But kids today love that! We need more singers like Durham to show the young ones what REAL singing is about.

Farewell sweet Judith…your legacy and beautiful voice will live on forever and you will never be forgotten.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
Born to sing. A gift to the world from God. People like this stand out in the world, and Judith certainly always has. She's such an inspiration.
Nobody could ever sing Danny Boy like Judith Durham. She is the best!
How sad that Judith Durham has just died. As was mentioned by the PM of Australia, “she was one of their national treasures”. I hope others will agree. 6/8/22
The most beautiful voice ever, now singing with the Angels.

Perfectly sung no electronics what a talent
So beautiful,there will never be another Judith,forever in my heart.xx
Vale Judith Durham.
No one will ever replace you, You were a very special person who dealt with tragedy and heartbreak but never stopped smiling, an incredible vocalist, pianist, and performer who was an ambassador for Australia.
I believe she is now performing in a better place reunited with her husband, thank you Judith Durham for the music and the memories you have given to so many millions of people all over the world.
Judith your singing fed my soul, the purity of your version of Danny Boy to all the wonderful Seekers songs with the boys. I was at the Music Bowl in 1967 with my dear Mum, I saw the 25th reunion, the 50th Concert, I went to the 1994 Grand Final to see the Seekers, I saw you sing jazz and singing with the Choir of Hard Knocks. I am saddened that your carnival is over. Thank you for the joy your singing gave to me and many, many others. Heaven’s choir now has its lead singer and you have now found the Olive Tree.
what a beautiful tribute
So thats what an Angel sounds like
Beautiful 🙏
Beautifully sung
Judith is living proof that one person can make a difference to the world

Left the Uk in ,1968and was never heard of again internationally
Judith, I missing you each day more and more! Sad greetings from Germany
Judith absolutely shatters me. I don’t know if I could watch this again. I’ve heard this song my entire life. She makes me weep. In a good way.
Many of the greatest singers of the last 100 years have sung this song. I’ve never heard a version that was better than this.
The Seekers: Often unjustly overlooked for their musical contributions in the `60's. But Judith Durham possessed a voice as clear as a mountain stream. Danny Boy may be denigrated by Irish purists, but her rendition is as sweet and precious today as it was so many years ago. Thank you so much for posting.
Yes, the clearness of her voice is remarkable.
Another song like this one is Shenandoah.
The best version by Jo Stafford.
I love them both.
very sweet
I am an Irish man and I was unaware that we denigrate Danny Boy. To your point I agree Judith's rendition, voice, and delivery of the song are absolutely fantastic and beautiful.
why would the Irish denigrate an English song?
I'd forgotten just how beautiful Judith's voice is. Effortless, sublime and crystal clear!!! Amazing!!!! This song is perfect for her!
Hello 👋 Catherine
@norman smithers you’re absolutely right!
@norman smithers sorry to hear about that!
I would like to get to know you better if you don’t mind? Where are you originally from? And where do you currently live?
@norman smithers I’m sorry to hear about that, I’m originally from Oslo Norway 🇳🇴 but I live in Ohio, Cincinnati….
@norman smithers so tell me what’s your present marital status, do you’ve kids x
if i was dead and buried and heard your voice from beneath the sod my heart would still rejoice.
We played this at my mum's funeral, she used to sing it to us when we were young, Judith singing of it is beautiful, I am sure she is entertaining people in heaven
Rest in peace Judy Durham. Beautiful song, beautiful angelic voice. Blessed art thou 🥀
Simply beautiful I have always loved Judith’s voice, I’ve never heard her do this before, it’s beautiful ❤️
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
Judith Durham broke my 10 year old heart when she left the Seekers in about 1967. I love her dearly still though, and her intro to the song set up the very best version I’ve ever heard. Like Judith herself, just BEAUTIFUL!!
Hey Gary, I'm the same age and share the same story. Reading your comment made me think you've read my mind!
I have never in my life heard this song "Danny Boy" sung so exquisitely & I don't believe anybody else ever will in the future. She sings with such beauty & feeling as to make a grown man cry. If there is a god he surely touched Judith.
in ireland when i was young it was a party piece at a wedding and we dare not make a sound,,,its also called the Derry AIR..
Its always been called the Londonderry air never heard it called the derry air. It was written by an Englishman as well btw
housecarl6 The lyrics were written by an Englishman, Fred Weatherly. The tune is far older. Nobody is sure, but the story goes it was composed by Rory Dal O'Cathan, last of bards to the O'Neill clan, as a lament for the passing of the old Gaelic order after the Battle of Kinsale in 1601.
It is the Londonderry Air, but in parts of Island it was customary to decline to say the "London" part "Londonderry"
+SS Davis you must mean Ireland
My beautiful three sons, Casey, Samuel, and Peter, you are all three grown men now gone away to grow your own lives and family...but I will always be here for you...and if you come and find I am gone...just listen... And remember the hundreds of times I sang this for you as you went off to bed as boys...this is our song always and forever...."and I shall sleep in Peace untill you come to me."
...
Casey E. Leydon from mother to mother I feel ya.
😢
this was so heartwarming, I understand how you feel
How lovely to read your fatherly words
Wow Casey,
What a beautiful tribute and love ❤️ to your sons , crying just reading it .
Pure and clear as an Irish stream, thank you Judith.
Her voice has that thing that reaches me in a way like no other.
probably the best female voice in popular music
I agree. She can actually sing. Some of the high notes were well beyond my expectations.
She is diffently one of them
Jo Stafford.
No other love.
Shenandoah.
Two gems i've found to give
Judith a challenge.
Love 'em both.
Any music. Best of all time.
Not PROBABLY, DEFINITELY, no female vocalist could match Judith’s voice
My heart is truly broken and I have cried to hear that Judith has passed us by. All the wondrous qualities of her voice can be heard here. They called her a songbird, but she was so much more than that. Who do you know who can sing like her. I am blessed to have known her, met her and heard her sing.
What a voice I mean what a voice Judith had.Then add Danny boy and you have a match made in heaven.Rest in peace Judith you leave behind an amazing legacy.
judith such a beautiful voice...anybody who respects music as this..appreciates judiths voice
